During aquaculture, feeding devices are needed to feed the cultivated aquatic organisms.

[0003] In the prior art and market, a large number of automatic feeding devices have been developed. These feeding devices are usually set to automatically feed at a certain time based on the feeding habits of the cultivated organisms. At the feeding time, an electric device controls the mechanical feeding. However, for large-scale aquaculture sites, a large area is needed to place the electric power device and the mechanical feeding device, which is not convenient for installation and use. Moreover, the overall angle control effect is poor, the angle adjustment of the feeding pipe is complex, and it is not convenient for the staff to operate. Therefore, it is necessary for the staff to improve it. More importantly, it cannot feed according to the changing feeding rules of the cultivated organisms, which affects the quality of cultivation and is not conducive to the development of the aquaculture industry. SUMMARY

[0004] The self-feeding device for aquaculture provided by the utility model is provided with artificial bait, which can be automatically touched by the cultivated organisms to obtain feed conveniently and effectively without the need for artificial feeding at regular intervals, thereby solving the above-mentioned shortcomings of the feeding device in the prior art.

The boom passes through the bucket outlet from below and is provided with artificial bait at the lower end. The artificial bait is put into water. A blocking plate is arranged below the bucket outlet of the boom. A boom is arranged at the upper end of the bucket.

[0007] The self-feeding device for aquaculture described above is provided with a corresponding bucket cover above the bucket to prevent too much water from entering the feed in the bucket.

[0008] The self-feeding device for aquaculture described above is a cylindrical container with a funnel-shaped lower part. The bucket outlet is arranged below the funnel.

[0009] The length of the hanging beam is greater than the diameter of the outlet of the feed barrel.

[0010] The hanging beam is a horizontal rod or a frame structure.

[0011] The part of the hanging beam close to the inner wall of the feed barrel is provided with a sliding key, and the inner wall of the feed barrel is provided with a sliding groove corresponding to the sliding key.

[0012] The lower outlet of the feed barrel or the protective cover is provided with a guide rod holder, the guide rod holder is provided with a through hole for the hanging rod, and the hanging rod penetrates into the feeding area through the through hole of the guide rod holder after penetrating out of the outlet of the feed barrel.

[0013] The blocking plate is a rubber plug or a hard circular plate provided with a sealing ring.

[0014] The self-feeding device for aquaculture has the advantages that the device has a simple structure, does not need to be provided with an additional power device and a feeding device, saves space, does not need to use electricity, is energy-saving and environment-friendly, can be used for breeding large aquatic animals, and can be used for breeding organisms to freely feed according to needs after being slightly trained, and if the feed is floating feed, the phenomenon of waste feed does not occur, the breeding organisms can bite the dummy bait when hungry, and the feed can automatically fall, the breeding organisms realize self-feeding, and the feeding workers can add the feed into the feed barrel after work, so that the operation is simple and convenient, the device is very convenient and effective to use, the artificial work intensity is reduced, manpower input can be saved, the operating cost of breeders is controlled, and problems such as serious water pollution and feed waste caused by excessive feeding are avoided.
